Broken Glass Everywhere: Vandalism Spree Leaves Car Windows Smashed in Fairmount

Dozens of drivers found their cars vandalized -- some with windows shattered -- in Philadelphia’s Fairmount neighborhood Wednesday morning.

"It's not fun, especially in the morning," said Tom Sulimay, who spent his morning cleaning glass out of his SUV.

Police learned of the vandalism along Poplar Street near Ridge Avenue, N 25th Street near Girard College and Parrish Street from 22nd to 25th streets shortly before 5 a.m.

The car window-breaking, denting vandal or vandals struck at least 26 cars, said Philadelphia Police.

"They didn't take anything out of the cars," said Sulimay.

No word yet on exactly when the vandalism occurred.
